Population genetics of source elements in 26 diverse human populations. The 26 diverse human populations that were studied by the 1000 Genomes Project were examined to determine the frequencies of the Chr 17, Chr 14, and Chr 12 elements in global populations. The measurements are depicted by population on the world map as a set of three circles corresponding to the three FL-L1Hs source elements that gave rise to somatic offspring in this study with an accompanying population abbreviation (Supplemental Table S4): (Chr 17) upper left circle; (Chr 14) upper right circle; (Chr 12) bottom circle. Colored circles represent an allele frequency greater than 0 for that respective population, whereas gray circles represent an allele frequency of 0 (Supplemental Table S4). The Chr 17 and Chr 14 source elements are restricted to populations from Africa or African ancestry, whereas the Chr 12 element is found in all 26 of the diverse populations.
